Which probability distribution should I use?

I write an assignment where I research the relationship between two variables. The first variable is the amount of capital requirement from Basel-III which is hold back for a given customer, and the second variable is how much money the company makes of the customer (profit). My data is positive skewed, bounded, continuous and independent. My regression analysis gives me an slope of 4% and correlations coefficient of 0.52.



Hypotheses 1: An increase in the amount of capital allocated should give an 3.57% increase in profit.



Hypothesis 2: The probability that the relationship between the two variables is correct is greater than 80%



Question: What probability distribution should I use and why should I use it?
